After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 286 Good Omens

The sky is bright, and you can see a layer of white frost on the ground, and the maple trees on the mountain are already red, which looks beautiful from a distance.

Dong Rong was overwhelmed with alcohol, so he drank little last night, and the few of them went back to bed early.

When he got up to wash up, he found that Gu Si was not there. He finished his breakfast and read a book for a while before he saw Gu Si coming in from the gate of the courtyard.

"Gu Si, where did you go early in the morning?" Dong Rong asked after putting away the book.

Gu Si replied: "After you came back last night, Fourth Master, dozens of officials trotted away and surrounded the Xueguan mansion."

Dong Rong's face was full of disbelief: "You mean, all the people who went to the private banquet of the academic officials last night were arrested?"

Gu Si nodded, "The little one hasn't come back, just to wait for the government to deal with the news. More than 100 applicants have been released this morning, but they are not allowed to participate in next year's examination. They have to wait for another three years."

Gu Si replied, "Don't worry, Fourth Master, those of us who didn't go will be fine, and the small matter of going to the capital has been arranged, we can leave today!"

Dong Rong felt lingering fear.

The Juren who participated in the private banquet of the academic officials last night brought gifts to the door for the sake of their future. Who would have thought that there would be some literati with low morals who drank and had fun in public, and even invited geisha to accompany them. I saw it, so I got together and went to the government to report it.

Four or five literati go to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion for a gathering, which is considered elegant.

But there are more than 100 literati here, accompanied by dozens of prostitutes and young men, which is tantamount to gathering a crowd for prostitution, and it is simply insulting the reputation of literati and scholars.

If you are only a recruiter, you dare to openly humiliate the gentleman, and if you want to become a Jinshi Gongshi, will the whole Daliang Kingdom be saved?

Therefore, the governor gave an order to arrest all Juren.

However, these juren did not make any serious mistakes. After two days of detention, they were released, but they were punished not to participate in the examination in February next year. This punishment is very serious.

Three years and three years, how many three years can life have?

Fortunately, they were not implicated, otherwise Qian Wen and Cai Yong would not know how badly they would suffer.

"You've worked hard too, go back to your room and have dinner."

After Gu Si finished his breakfast, the two began to pack their luggage and rush to the capital.

Nanzhou Province is located on the border between the south and the north, and it is very far from the capital. It takes more than 20 days to arrive by land and slow travel all the way.

The two of them basically got up before dawn and rushed on the road, and only rested at the post station at night, because the carriage had the official mark on it, so the journey was considered peaceful.

On the contrary, many students who came to Beijing to rush for the exam asked to go with them, and Dong Rong naturally would not refuse, and the team grew stronger and stronger, so they rushed so fast that they finally arrived at the capital at the foot of the emperor after 20 days.

Dong Rong got out of the carriage and stretched his muscles, exclaimed: "I thought Fucheng was prosperous before, but I didn't expect the capital city to be more prosperous than Fucheng. Moreover, all the people walking on the road were wearing silk and satin. There are so many rich people."

The student who was walking next to him answered, "Otherwise, why would someone say that in the capital, if one plaque falls down, two officials will be killed."

After finishing speaking, he hugged Dong Rong's shoulder very naturally: "When we get to your territory, we will have to rely on you to cover us."

They have been together for nearly 20 days, and there are no other entertainment activities on the road. They just sit in the carriage and talk all day long, which leads to the rapid development of their relationship. Coupled with that person's selfishness, the relationship between the two is even closer.

Dong Rong took a group of people to the Princess's Mansion. In the capital, the Rongchang Princess's Mansion can be found by casual inquiry.

The streets on the side of the Princess's Mansion are relatively clean, and occasionally exquisite carriages stop, and richly dressed nobles are surrounded by people and enter the mansion.

Walking on this street, people will unconsciously quiet down and dare not speak loudly.

Qian Wen showed up on this street with the book boy. They had arrived in the capital a few days earlier and had been looking for opportunities.

He spent a lot of money and went through many contacts. Only then did he find out that the third princess was recruiting staff, so he wanted to try his luck.

"Master, look!" Qian's Shutong pointed to the house not far away, "Isn't that Young Master Dong?"

Qian Wen looked, and sure enough, he saw Dong Rong leading a group of people, striding into a huge mansion.

His gaze moved up slowly, and he saw the big characters "Rongchang County Lord's Mansion".

After coming to the capital for so long, if he didn't know what Rongchang County Lord's Mansion means, he would have lived in vain for so many years.

"It's no wonder Master Dong doesn't get close to us, it turns out that Princess Rongchang has such a high status in the capital!"

The book boy said indignantly: "We are all from the same town. He didn't take care of him, but he actually made friends with others. He really doesn't miss the fellowship at all!"

"Okay, don't say a few words." Qian Wen said coldly, "Since you know his status is precious, you should be more polite when you see him in the future."

Although taking into account the status of the mayor of the other county, it does not mean that Qian Wen is willing to be overwhelmed.

He looked up to the direction of the Princess Mansion: "Let's go."

If he had hesitated before whether to have a relationship with the third princess, then after seeing Dong Rong enter the princess mansion, his heart became firm.

Dong Rong led people into the Princess's Mansion, and Nanny Li and all the servants of the manor were waiting at the door to greet her.

As the uncle of the princess's mansion, Zhu Han naturally couldn't greet him in person.

"Hello, fourth master!" They saluted and greeted in a uniform manner, full of momentum, and the footsteps of the students they met on the way were a little weak.

They thought that the princess who came from the people should be similar to them, but they didn't expect that they would be overwhelmed by the momentum of the servants just as soon as they entered the door.

Nanny Li took the maidservant to take the salute from Gu Si's hand, and asked the rest of the students to be taken to the living room, while she took Dong Rong to the main hall to meet the uncle Zhu Han.

Dong Rong offered tea to Zhu Han in person to say hello, that's all, it's not so much etiquette to live under the same roof.

Zhu Han took a sip of tea, and said in a low voice: "The princess has gone out with the second princess and hasn't returned yet. The princess has been busy promoting business in the commercial city these days, so I don't think I have time to see you. You can go shopping in the capital by yourself. You can also study at home."

Dong Rong nodded. He was a little disappointed that he hadn't met Gu Qing for the first time, but when he thought that he would stay in the capital, he felt that the future was full of hope.

"How long has the princess been in Beijing?" Dong Rong asked.

"Arriving five days earlier than you, the princess came here on horseback, naturally faster!" Zhu Han stood up and said, "I will take you to see your yard. The princess's mansion is relatively large, and we each have a yard. Your clothes All the books that will be used have been arranged!"

"Thank you, Brother Zhu!" Dong Rong followed Zhu Han. The Princess Mansion is huge, even bigger than the one in Gujia Village. The pavilions, terraces, waterside pavilions, plants and trees all show the nobleness of the Princess Mansion.

Zhu Han led him into the yard and went straight to the study, where there was a gift box on the desk.

Under Zhu Han's signal, Dong Rong opened the box, and inside was a high-quality wolf hair made of pure gold.

"This is?" Dong Rong was a little dumbfounded, only Gu Qing could be so inhumane.

Zhu Han had a bit of a taste: "This is specially prepared for you by the princess, and it indicates a good sign for the title on the gold list!"

Dong Rong looked at the golden pen in a daze, Zhu Han didn't stay any longer, and left directly.
